Needing A Home

Oops! One more thing...If you live in Southern California, here's an dog you might adopt:

CHAD - A very special boy in search of a very special home.

Chad ruptured a disc in his back, which paralyzed him. His owners did not get him in to surgery in time and then decided they didn’t want him. Hard to imagine, but that’s what happened to this little boy. He arrived at our rehab facility three months ago, dirty, matted, overweight and very depressed. Thanks to hours of physical therapy a day, including swimming, treadmill work-outs, back and leg strengthening exercises and long walks in his new wheelchair (complete with Christmas lights), not to mention being truly adored by all of us, Chad is now 8 pounds lighter, groomed and gorgeous and the happiest, sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He loves everyone, including children and other dogs. He loves to sit on your lap and to cuddle with you in bed. He’s also a brave, vigilant watchdog, racing to the door the instant the doorbell rings. He has no idea he’s disabled, so we’re not telling him. Chad may walk again someday, with continued therapy. But he needs a home with someone who’s as loving and positive as he is, who understands dogs with disabilities and will prove to him that no one will ever give up on him again. He’s a little guy thanks to all his hard work on his diet and exercise, so he can be carried everywhere with the greatest of ease.
